Sewer and drain issues can range from inconvenient clogs to major structural problems, but no one wants to face the hassle of digging up pipes just to figure out what’s wrong. That’s where sewer inspection cameras come in. These high-tech tools give you a real-time look inside your pipes, helping identify problems with accuracy and ease. Here, we’ll explore five common drain and sewer issues that inspection cameras can diagnose quickly—and why choosing a high-quality camera, like those made by EasyCAM, can make all the difference.
1. Root Intrusions
Roots from nearby trees or shrubs are notorious for infiltrating sewer pipes in search of water and nutrients. Over time, these roots can create cracks, weaken pipe walls, and even cause complete blockages. An inspection camera can detect root intrusion at an early stage, helping prevent costly damage or total pipe failure. With EasyCAM’s high-definition cameras, you can see the exact extent of the intrusion and decide on the best course of action, whether that’s root cutting, repair, or replacement.
2. Grease Buildup
Grease buildup is a frequent cause of drain blockages, especially in commercial kitchens and residential areas where oils and fats get washed down the sink. Over time, grease coats the walls of pipes, narrowing the passage and slowing drainage. Cameras reveal the amount and location of grease buildup, allowing you to address it before it escalates into a full blockage. With EasyCAM, users get clear visuals to confirm if cleaning treatments or hydro-jetting are necessary.
3. Pipe Corrosion and Deterioration
Old pipes can develop corrosion, leading to leaks or weak sections prone to breaking. Sewer inspection cameras can identify signs of corrosion, such as pitting or rust, which may not be visible from the surface. By catching corrosion early, homeowners or businesses can replace the affected sections and avoid more severe damage. EasyCAM cameras, designed for durability and precision, provide a crystal-clear view, making it easier to assess pipe conditions accurately.
4. Offset or Misaligned Joints
Pipes are connected by joints, and over time, shifting soil or foundational changes can cause these joints to become misaligned. This misalignment can restrict flow or create spots where debris accumulates, eventually leading to blockages or leaks. Inspection cameras can pinpoint these offset joints, enabling you to plan targeted repairs without unnecessary excavation. EasyCAM’s user-friendly camera systems allow plumbers and homeowners to quickly locate and address misaligned joints, minimizing disruption.
5. Collapsed or Broken Pipes
In severe cases, pipes may crack or collapse due to soil shifts, age, or external pressure, leading to costly repairs if not caught early. An inspection camera can locate the exact area of damage, saving both time and labor costs. EasyCAM’s rugged cameras can maneuver through pipes of various sizes and conditions, helping diagnose breaks or collapses with precision so that repairs are effective and focused.
